A Fight Scene

A lithographic facsimile of a drawing currently in the Albertina, Vienna (inv. no.226), formerly attributed to Raphael, but no longer thought to be by him. Published in N. Förster, Lithographirte Copien von Original Handzeichnungen berühmter alter Meister der Italienischen schule aus der Sammlung seiner Kaiserlichen Hoheit des durchlauchtigsten Erzherzogs Carl von Oesterreich, 2 vols., Vienna (Mansfeld et Comp.), 1829-34.

Ruland (1876) connected the drawing with a sheet now in the Musée des Beaux-Arts, Lille (inv. Pl 430), a photograph of which can be found at RCIN 852247.

Between 1829 and 1834 the lithographic printers Mansfeld and Company, who were based in Vienna, published two volumes of lithographic copies after drawings then in the collection of Archduke Charles of Austria, Duke of Teschen; volume one contained drawings attributed to the Italian school, and volume two the German and Flemish school.
